I need to parse kibana.yml and read kibana.defaultAppId from java. Is that possible without writing any java code to parse whole yml and read the value??

There's not a lot of people in the Kibana team that know Java, and I'm not one of them. It is in yaml format, so however you can parse yaml to read that value will work.
